It’s been a bit more than a week since Chicago Market first announced our sales from Hazzard Free Farm and our partner farmer/producers – it’s time to tell you a little more about  our Partner Sampler Box!

Oats are a part of the daily diet for many of us - and the oats from Hazzard Free Farm are what we highlight today. 

We're excited to be partnered with Hazzard Free Farm and today we highlight Andy’s Hazzard Free Grain cornbread mix. 

Justin Doggett of Kyoto Black, a Kyoto-style cold brew coffee creator and supplier, joined us and our community for a Zoom workshop yesterday to introduce us to the science of cold brew coffee, describe how he got started in the business, and show us some recipes for how to enjoy cold brew coffee.

Chicago Market's Vision includes the word "connected" and this spring the Board launched a new team that has the goal of connecting you with your food, even now before we're an open grocery store.

Earlier this week, our contingent of board of director candidates gathered for an online Q&A session moderated by past Board member Jen Vest. Here are some of the questions the candidates answered during the wide-ranging 2 hour session:

Torriente Toliver of Mind Body Defense, a kickboxing and self-defense school located in the Buena Park neighborhood, joined us and our community for a Zoom workshop to introduce us to home kickboxing workouts. We stretched, punched, kicked, weaved, and worked up a sweat!

An Owner raised some concerns with the Board via email recently and we replied, but also felt like we should share our answer more broadly.

Katherine Duncan of Katherine Anne Confections joined us and our community for a Zoom workshop on creating chocolate truffles using fair-trade cacao chocolate and local cream. We measured, melted, mixed, chilled, and rolled!
